This is for a couple of reasons – solid sugar is a pain to dissolve in a spirit, which often leaves a sickly sweet sludge at the bottom of these drinks when made with a lump or spoon of sugar
The humble mince pie needs little embellishments in my humble opinion - a crisp, crumbly and buttery shortcrust pastry base filled with fruity home-made mincemeat, with a dash of brandy, and a simple lid of more buttery pastry - a sprinkling of caster sugar maybe, or even a little icing sugar, and that’s the perfect mince pie for me
We grow Granny Smith, Gravenstein, Pink Lady, and Fuji apples, all great for making apple pie. When the nights start getting cooler after a long hot summer, and the leaves show glimpses of turning color, that’s when apple season starts around here

shooting stars were my television viewing and I once saw a shower of shooting stars that rivalled most Bonfire night displays, spinning and careering across the sky in a burst of silvery sequins, they shimmered for hours in my imagination afterwards, and I fell asleep with a sense of excitement and wonder
So this is an oldfashioned fruit cake, the type that your granny used to make for afternoon tea, seriously it would be great with tea or coffee though and keeps fantastically wrapped in foil
